Types of forensic evidence

Today we will be looking at different types of forensic evidence.  We are covering some in class with practicals but there are plenty of other kinds of evidence.

  1. How many bullets were fired during this crime? How did police know? - http://www.nibin.gov/press/firearms-forensics-boulder-co.pdf
  2. Play the game on http://www.trutv.com/shows/forensic_files/games/hiddenmine/index.html , listing one clue that helped you catch the gold thief:
  3. If someone's fingerprints are at a crime scene, does it mean they committed the crime?
  4. Watch this video (there's music playing but no talking so don't worry if you don't have sound). Why would the Scientist be wearing gloves? - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dOdPirQQh9Q
  5. A crime has been committed in this office.  See if you cna spot all the objects that have been moved.  make sure you list them in your book as you go!  - http://forensics.rice.edu/html/comparison.html
